The Conference USA title will be on the line in a rematch of two of its upstart teams in 2017. The festivities will commence when the North Texas Mean Green (9-3) will take on the Florida Atlantic Owls (9-3) at FAU Football Stadium in Boca Raton, Florida. The contest is an early affair set to kick off on Saturday, December 2nd, 2017 at 12:00 PM ET. The game will be broadcasted for national audiences on ESPN2. This is the Conference USA Championship Game. Earlier this year, the two parties met in Boca Raton in October; the Owls would swoop upon the Mean Green in a 69-31 victory.

North Texas Mean Green at Florida Atlantic Owls Overview

The two teams enter among the hottest in the country. For UNT, the Mean Green have now won five in a row. North Texas’ most recent victory came against cross-state foe Rice in the annual rivalry game. The Owls continue to look impressive and enter this huge collision on the heels of 31-12 win at the Charlotte 49ers, last Saturday.

Public Money Consensus

In the early stages, we have seen the public smother the Owls. The public has weighed in heavily and likes the Owls in this situation as they are willing to spot the points with FAU.

In Over/Under markets, the number has fallen by half of a point to reflect action on the Under. Currently, the Over bodes a price tag of +107.

North Texas Mean Green at Florida Atlantic Owls Prediction

Undoubtedly both of these teams are two of the surprise outfits of 2017. The winner gets to pick where they go bowling and eclipses the prestigious ten-win mark on the season. For both programs this is a significant milestone. Without question, the Owls have the privilege of hosting this affair by virtue of tiebreaking protocol for the conference. Nevertheless, it is hard to beat the same team twice in a season. This narrative aids UNT’s cause. Whilst it is hard to fathom Florida Atlantic losing this game, the Mean Green should not be overlooked. With all things considered, backing Florida Atlantic at home at this point likely results in a premium inflicted upon takers. The public has disregarded this narrative and as a result we have an opportunity at a quality fade against a likely overlay. North Texas with the points is our call.
